Pediatric renal transplantation using donation after cardiac death: 1 case report / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of pediatric renal transplantation using donation after cardiac death (DCD).Methods The male DCD meeting Chinese standard Ⅲ (C-Ⅲ) was 49 years old,and the recipient with chronic renal failure was 14 years old.The right kidney of the donor was transplanted to the recipient.The renal artery and renal vein of the donor were end-to-side anastomoscd to the common iliac artery and common iliac vein of the recipient,respectively.The graft was transplanted into the fight iliac fosse.Warm ischemia time was 12 min,and cold ischemia time was 2 h.Immunity induction therapy was performed with basiliximab.Tacrolimus + mycophnolate mofetil + Pred were used as immunosuppressive regimen.Results The transplantation was done successfully.One day after operation,ALT was increased dramatically.The recipient was diagnosed as acute drug-induced liver injury.There was no occurrence of acute rejection and delayed graft function.The recipient was discharged one month after the operation,and followed up for 6 months with normal graft function.Conclusion Pediatric renal transplantation using DCD is effective and safe,even though the long-term effect still needs to be further observed.
